New Zealand Education: Uniform Styles--Suits


Figure 1.--Most New Zealand schools require uniforms. Private schools generally have the most elaborate uniforms, like these prep school boys who wear grey suits with the school badge.

We see a few schools which adopted suits as the school uniform. While blazers are relatively common in New Zealand schools, a few schools have suits rather than a blazer. One school wears a blazer badge on the suit jacket. Another just has a suit without the badge. Suits were worn at both state and private schools. This was not a very common option. The suits as far as we know are only grey. Of course while girls wore blazers, there was no comparable outfit for girls.
